How Can We Understand Benghazi Without Probing the CIA's Role?

According to a Wall Street Journal article published way back in November 2012, "The U.S. effort in Benghazi was at its heart a CIA operation, according to officials briefed on the intelligence. Of the more than 30 American officials evacuated from Benghazi following the deadly assault, only seven worked for the State Department. Nearly all the rest worked for the CIA, under diplomatic cover, which was a principal purpose of the consulate, these officials said."

Doesn't that fact need to be acknowledged if the goal is to figure out what happened? I'm not invested in any outcome. If the Obama Administration is proved to have acted badly, I won't be surprised: as someone who thinks that President Obama violated the U.S. Constitution and the War Powers Resolution when he unilaterally volunteered American forces for the rebellion against Colonel Gaddafi, it seems to me that he's guilty of scandalous behavior in Libya

Is this a flank attack from Obama’s left?

Good point. Was referring to his peeps - not his alignment.

It’s time the SRM focused on the arms part of Benghazi.

That’s the real threat.

The CIA may be able to answer that question but dont expect a straight answer. The CIA forges alliances strategically to overthrow hostile elements and one of their tactics is to to make friends with our enemy’s enemy and arm and train them so they will do their dirty work for them. Sometimes it backfires; I think this was one of those times. They got played instead of the other way around. Of course it achieved the Muslim’s goals . No surprise there with the current leadership in office...

Chris Stevens was not your ordinary ambassador. He had “CIA” written all over him.

US covert operations toppling regimes goes back at least as far as Panama, i.e., prior to the US finishing the canal.

The CIA armed and trained the Afghans againsts the Russians decades ago.

The CIA runs it’s own off the books drug and money laundering operations.

The truth to rationale is that the CIA leadership has, from its inception, been Wall Street operatives, and the same goes for the State Dept since at least the early 20th century, when Rockefeller and Morgan interests started to dramatically push their way into Federal government power circles.

Obama is simply controlled by these outside interests, the same as every President since Wilson has been, to one extent or another.

The “arming of the muzzies” is done by the US gov’t because these outside interests seek to have their own puppets in power in every nation who are cooperative with central banking.

The Libyan “revolution” was not even over before the “revolutionaries” formed their own central bank.

PLease see my prior post.

With all that going on for the last hundred years (and America did not invent it, one can read up on the Opium Wars to see a prior instance of such dealings; notably FDR’s grandfather made his fortune in the opium trade), the current administration is simply dutifully continuing international banking’s operations under the American flag, so this is not a situation unique to the Obama administration.

One can read up on Castle Bank, Nugan Hand bank and BCCI to start to understand the CIA’s off the books operations.

When wide-eyed young folks who are not “in the know” enter government service, if they get involved in these things, by the time they’re involved, it’s certainly too late for them to blow the whistle. Many have become a liability to the operations and committed suicide or met some other unfortunate end shortly thereafter.

Not since the Bay of Pigs have people been left in the field to die as they were in this case.

It’s the leaving in the field to die that is the most immediate issue.

The Obama administration has its operatives all over the internet, including on FR, trying to distract the public from focusing on this dereliction of duty, and for one simple reason. It represents the charges that should be brought and can easily be prosecuted, without even touching on all the dark side of international banking’s firm grip on most governments of the world.

The only thing to understand is the meaning of the word "abandon". Obama abandoned the wounded and the fighters during the battle. That is a high crime. Call it cowardice under fire. The abandoned ones died wounded in pain, waiting, hoping for help that never came. Shameful. God forgive America under obama.

“Of the more than 30 American officials evacuated from Benghazi following the deadly assault, only seven worked for the State Department. Nearly all the rest worked for the CIA, under diplomatic cover, which was a principal purpose of the consulate, these officials said.”

This has been SOP for the CIA/State for decades. We lived in the DC area in the 1960’s in an area, jokingly known as Spookville, Va.

When the ‘State’/ CIA agents rotated back to stateside duty, they gave up their State Department cover and reported to Langley. When they rotated back over seas, they magically became state department again.

The CIA in Benghazi was apparently running a guns/stingers/? supply center for the Muslim friends in Syria and Egypt of Obozo’s inside pro Muslim Brotherhood group. Obozo and his outhouse thugs were aware of these ops and may have set them up via the former CIA Director and their own Muslim thug now serving as CIA director/chief now.

There was, also, apparently a prison for some really bad Islamos in Benghazi. Waterboarding would have been the least of problems of prisoners in that facility.

Everyone should take a deep breath and look at the political damage that would have happened to the thugs of Obozo if these Benghazi realities came out and became subjects covered by Fox, Free Republic, conservative talk shows an conservative web sites. Just imagine how those elite anti America rat donors would have reacted if news of what Obozo had authorized in Benghazi was being discussed 24/7 in the ‘57’ states.

The Obozo thugs in DC would have lost a lot of political donations and power with their elite left wing supporters, who still blame Reagan and Bush for doing similar actions if the truth re Benghazi came out. So the 23 non state, aka CIA spooks/employees were thrown into quarantine in DC under the cover of being in a hospital. Each one was told if they said anything, due to their signed secrecy acts/papers, they would go to a federal jail for a long time.

Check out my tagline, thanks.

The thing lost in the noise is what has happened to the manpads, which the moose slime brotherhood want to blunt Israeli jets. With the mooselime Brennan running CIA they are probably already deploy in opposition to Israel.
